The product itself is appropriate (moistened cloths for quick dog "baths") but the name is...startling. The things are made by the same company that makes the Bed Head line of hair products and I guess the name is supposed to be "edgy."

I <3 Pet Head has a large line of pet grooming products, including nail polish. Some of the individual products can be a little "out there" just as the Bed Head products.

It's not what we gather along the way that matters. It's what we scatter.

Those cake toppers I once saw that had the groom all chained up by the bride. Um...nice. Yes, I realize that most of the time the cake topper is bought by the bride and therefore she is poking fun of herself. I still don't think it's all that appropriate.

The same for the divorce cake toppers that show one spouse murdering the other. Am I just too sensitive to anything that makes fun of domestic violence?

They have a line of temporary hair (fur) dye stuff that's excellent for marking animals. We used it in the Bottle Baby Nursery with our kittens, so we could tell them apart when we'd feed them. Kitten A could have a blue dot on her left ear, Kitten B could have a red dot on her left ear, etc. That way, we wouldn't get confused on who'd been fed/cared for during each round.

Pet clothing and costumes. Yes, they look cute but most of the time the pet doesn't like them. Unless its being used to keep the pet dry or warm I don't see the point.

Plenty of pets like them, or at least like the attention they get wearing them. Regardless, even if you don't see the point of it, that doesn't make it inappropriate. Dressing your dog in a sexual fetish costume maybe, but not dressing it up at all

Former toy company employee here. I can't tell you the number of times we had to get our engineers to rethink some of their designs especially for the pre-school market. Because our target market had tiny hands everything made for them had to be easier to grip. And kids like vibrating toys, right!?!! Unfortunately, a lot of stuff end up looking a little toooo phallic.

I work retail and our store has been getting some really inappropriate young men's t-shirts in stock lately. One of them was a silkscreened photo of a topless woman in cut off shorts barely covering her breasts with her hand. Another one of them said "Will trade her --> for beer," and the latest one said "You | Me | Bed | Now." We're supposed to be a family appropriate store, I don't understand why we're getting in this garbage.

We have also been getting in these baffling novelty wall art signs. One of them said "I'm not wearing underwear. Mental note." Who would hang that on their wall??

Sounds like "Man Cave" kind of decor. Or what's meant to be "Man Cave" decor.

At least the days are gone (I hope) when candy racks commonly included boxes of white sugar (faux-)cigarettes for kids. I used to like them and they were cheap, but that was 50 years ago.

I remember having those as a kid and then seeing them in a candy store about 20 years ago. It really made me mad that they were encouraging kids to pretend to be smoking cigarettes. I probably said something to the proprietor, but don't recall. Stores used to sell bubble gum cigars, too, but I look more like a cigar than they did, so it didn't bother me.

We used to be able to buy bubble gum cigs from the ice cream truck ($.05 apiece, so very popular) They were wrapped in paper and if you put one end in your mouth and blew, it puffed powdered sugar "smoke"

This was back in the early '00's, so not that long ago. For all I know they're still on sale.
